    How do people still continue to achieve in the face of severe adversity?

    This is a question I have become increasingly pre-occupied with throughout my academic career. As a working-class woman with an “unconventional” background, I have often been told that my potential ought to be limited. Personally, I haven’t found this to be true, and I know of so many other inspiring people from similar backgrounds – […]

    The Commodification of Identity in Victorian Narrative

    Scholars of the Victorian period have often written of it as a golden age of autobiography, notable for the remarkable proliferation of life writing at and after mid-century. In 1850 Leigh Hunt published his Autobiography, and Robert Southey’s Recollections appeared that same year in his posthumous Life and Correspondence. Thereafter, many other eminent Victorians—Charles Darwin, […]

    Why write an entire book about numbers?

    In the century preceding the French Revolution advanced mathematics began to play a role in ordinary affairs. If you wanted to find the position of a ship at sea, design fortifications or price annuities, then you needed mathematics. In a process accelerated by the Revolution, first the French and then the German states set up […]

    Entertaining the Royals

    Why should one mind performances at court in Shakespeare’s time? Do we really need a book on the subject? So much has been written about the Elizabethan theatre industry’s connection with the public stage that we have invariably been led to focus on Shakespeare as a writer of public plays—perhaps because this makes him at […]

    Transcendence for an Age of Immanence: Re-Reading Romanticism and its Religious Thought

    The fundamental concern of Romanticism, which brought about its inception, determined its development, and set its end, was the need to create a new language for religion.

    Modern Irish Theatre: A Women’s Tradition

    In October 2015 Ireland’s National Theatre announced its commemorative ‘Waking the Nation’ programme. The intention was to ‘interrogate rather than celebrate’ the 1916 Easter Rising, yet women were largely obscured from the programme: 90% of the plays were male authored. The marginalization of women theatre-makers and female narratives prompted an incendiary response in the form […]

    Thomas Hardy and the Creative Process

    Thomas Hardy fully understood, from early on in his career, that the production of a novel, or short story, took place both in the realm of artistic creation and in the literary marketplace.  He eventually became very proficient at manipulating the requirements of Victorian publishing’s modes of production for his own purposes.  In particular the […]
